About the Journal

The Journal for the Study of Cooperative and Experiential Education (JSCEE) explores inquiry about all modes of experiential education in higher education and prioritizes the publication of scholarship that explores interdisciplinary perspectives related to reflection and assessment of experiential learning, innovative models for career preparation and student employment, creative pedagogical methods and practice, and impact of experiential education on students and stakeholders such as industry/community partners.

Published twice annually in open access, all articles published pass editorial review and double-blind peer-reviews. Submissions are welcomed from any academic discipline are accepted, and practitioner inquiry conducted in partnership with students or industry/community partners is especially encouraged. 

Our aim is to highlight scholarship that seeks to better understand how universities can expand the boundaries of the traditional classroom to better prepare all learners to thrive at all stages of their education al and professional journeys.
